My rating: 5 of 5 stars

An invaluable, practical, and sympathetic guide...

As our population ages, and in light of the Covid 19 pandemic, this book could not have been written at a more appropriate time. Caring for the needs of our loved ones is a natural part of the family dynamic. Natural expectations of caring within a family typically supersedes the normal abilities and emotional resources of individual caregivers. Often, it is during times of crisis that families realize that the designated caregiver is not adequately supported and equipped to meet the increasing needs of an elderly or disabled loved one.

Caregivers whose basic needs are not met have a difficult time meeting the care needs of their loved ones. Knowing when and how to seek assistance in caring for a loved one can help alleviate caregiver stress and ensure that the needs of your loved one still meet a high standard.

A wide range of topics are discussed in this excellent book from empathy and patience to dementia heart disease, lung conditions, cancer and many more. The topic on the factors caregivers must consider about themselves especially resonated with me.

No family home should be without a copy of this book. I couldn’t recommend it highly enough, and only wish it had been written sooner. A well-deserved five stars from me.
